I enjoy looking at his repetitive designs.

I think Escher is timeless. His work is simple at first glance and infinitely complex upon inspection. As long as his work is preserved I think it will inspire every generation who experiences it.

I enjoy Escher's work. I particularly like the reflections, like the man looking into the glass ball. I don't think it will ever go out of style because it is so technically refined and the subjects so varied and fascinating. I've been hoping to make some tessellations of my own for my textile work.

I love Escher's work. It's fascinating & brilliant. The images must really have stuck in my mind because I even had a nightmare a couple of nights ago that was like one of his drawings: I was trapped in this endless series of staircases (some upside down or sideways) that led to nowhere... His drawings are very clever & mathematically ingenious. I think his work would still be appreciated today.
I especially admired his drawing of hands drawing each other. I find hands to be the most difficult things to draw! I usually avoid them when I can. My portraits usually cut off just below the shoulder to avoid them!

i always found his use of illusionary images and tessalations to be really really inspiring. Escher never considered himself an artist, mind you. i'd have to disagree there. studying his work taught me to percieve things in different ways, both in art, and in life. it made me wonder "whats on the other side?" and made me think of the ways things are thought of from the other side of the coin.
as for today's society..... well, i think that there will always be ppl that will enjoy that type of work, though it seems non represtentational abstract works garner more attention these days.

Escher is a genius and his work is timeless, he would not be out of place today.

there is so much art out there today that is Escher inspired. if he were still around today i think he may enjoy the growing spellbound appreciation of his work.

He was interesting and talented, but the work always had a visual gimmick that held it together. So it will always be on the boarder on fine art. His work is not out of place but enjoyed by many.

of course not, he continues to confound people with his "fooling the eyes". I've always found what he does to be a good entry point into modern art. Along with Magritte it's something you can explain even to a child and everyone is amazed at what's going on. After that it get's easier to switch to other things.

No.
Art is never out of place.
